Hello,
It looks like I posted too soon.
My guide describes how to configure windows and android clients to connect to a WPA2 Enterprise wifi network.
I had done some research into getting apple devices onto it, and I believed I had all the information necessary to get ipad's, iphone's and ipod's etc onto the network. However, when I sat down to actually do so, I hit something of a brick wall.
I believed all I needed to do was download a PC application from the apple website called the iPhone Configuration Utility (or iPCU), and use it to create a profile which configured the relevant devices wifi connection settings.
It seems however, that the software has been deprecated - it hasn't been updated in years. I can find no reference to it on the apple website. It seems to have been replaced by an application named Configurator - which is only available for mac's.
Does anyone know of a way to configure ipad's, iphone's and ipod's wifi settings, without tools such as iPCU or Configurator?
Sure. There are web services which create the configuration files just like the Apple Configurator app does. Some are closed-source and expensive, but at least one is free and based on open-source software. You should check out https://802.1x-config.org It also has installers for Linux, if that is of any concern for you. Its Windows installers automate a big chunk of the server-side certificate installation. For EAP-TLS, it assumes that the client certificate is already installed on the client machine. Note that the tool never asks the end-user to upload sensitive information to the web site; also the OS X and iOS installers assume that the client certificate is already on the user's machine. Feel free to get back to me off-list for any questions regarding this tool. Greetings, Stefan Winter
